      "Jesus Made Me Puke"

      Jesus Made Me Puke

      Matt Taibbi's account of going to an evangelical Christian retreat in Texas.

      It's pretty funny, yet ridiculously disturbing... and a long, yet good read.

      A good reference for the people that don't really know the extent of Christian fundamentalism in some communities. This is only a taste.

      Enjoy.

      Well I can imagine how bad Fundy retreats are, but I have been on Catholic ones, and they were very eye opening.

      Back in my own Christian days, I had gone to some of them. I can tell you that they weren't as insane as the one in this article (with speaking in tongues and demons and whatnot), but they were still pretty batshit crazy.

      This article is definitely worth the long read. It's insightful and pretty funny.

      True... he is still a great writer, however. I can't wait to get his new book.

      Yup.



      In other news, we're now watching Monty Python's Life of Brian. It's great.
